Eric Hobsbawm
Again, I do not think the inclusion of a conservative commentator Pryce Jones adds much to this page. Criticism of Hobsbawm from a conservative point of view is already here in the form of Niall Ferguson who is an academic historian.

Eric Hobsbawm
I find the Pryce-Jones quote to be unnecessarily abusive in tone and not respectful of Hobsbawm's influence on empirical work in history (especially the 19th century). Pryce-Jones is also a "author and commentator" and not an academic historian so I am not convinced we should be putting weight on his judgement in this context.

Mariana Mazzucato

Mariana Mazzucato
Better summary of reception of her work (Martin Wolf and The Economist deserve most prominence due to stature in economic journalism)

Mariana Mazzucato
Updates to her research to better reflect her earlier work and the range of work she has done after The Entrepreneurial State
